For example, a driver might say 左转 (zuǒ zhuǎn) to indicate that they are turning left, or 右转 (yòu zhuǎn) to indicate that they are turning right.转向 can also be used in a more figurative sense, to refer to a change in policy or direction. For example, a government might announce a 政策转向 (zhèngcè zhuǎnxiàng) to indicate that they are changing their policies.The word 转向 is a common and versatile word in Chinese, and it is important for HSK learners to understand its meaning and usage.
